Top 1. Joy of Life

Keywords: Chinese Web Series, Costume Drama, Chinese Novel Adaptation

关键字：中国网剧、古装剧、小说 IP 改编

Genres: Fiction, Drama, Political, Romance

Release Time: 2020-01-12

上线时间：2019 年 11 月 26日

The C-Drama "Joy of Life" Season 1, also known as Thankful for the Remaining Year, is worthy of the name as the hottest Chinese web series during the 2020 new year's period. The first episode was aired on the network on November 26 in 2019 and the final episode came during the Chinese YuanDan festival (New Year's Day). During the period, it has consistently kept ranking 2020's top most viewed Chinese web series on the iQiyi platform with the latest data until November 15.

《庆余年第一季》是 2020 年名副其实的跨年热播剧。自2019 年 11 月 26 日在中国首播以来，直至 2020 年 元旦期间迎来第一季的大结局，一直稳居 2020 年爱奇艺平台点播量最高的网剧第一名位置。

The Chinese web series of "Joy of Life" Season 1 was adapted from a four-million-word-long Chinese original novel of the same name, which was initially released on Qidian (China's largest original literature and reading platform). It tells a legendary story about a young boy Fan Xian traveled back (the plot from the novel) to a fictional Chinese dynasty,  facing all sorts of risks and challenges from his adopted families, the martial arts world, and the royal court within the imperial palace, and finally grew up to stick to the ideal with success.

《庆余年》改编自中国起点中文网早年一部经典的长达 400 万字的同名中文原创小说，讲述了拥有复杂神秘身世的现代少年范闲，穿越回（原著情节）虚构的古代王朝，经历家族、江湖、庙堂的种种考验和锤炼层层升级最终守住理想获得成长的传奇经历。

"Joy of Life" showed us a virtual ancient world different from traditional Chinese costume dramas, how a modern man dealing with ancient politicians and the emperor, with various conflicts of different cultures and thoughts between them. The web series is featuring the adaptation not only close to the original novel but also combining suspensive intense storyline with modern internet humor elements alternated, which makes the drama as a whole win the love and praises from many audiences and novel fans.

全局借男主的视角向观众展开了一个有别于中国一般传统古装剧的虚拟古风世界，现代人与古代政治高手之间的周旋与对决，现代人与古代人不同的文化和理念冲突。电视剧在尽可能还原原著的同时，在悬疑紧张的古代权谋剧情上穿插现代的网络流行式的诙谐幽默，整体上获得了不少观众的喜爱与好评。

However, the episodes from season 1 haven't yet reached the most exciting plot of the original novel. And as told at present, season 2 of Joy of Life has already been launched, which is roughly estimated to be released at the end of 2021 or in 2022.

不过，第一季的《庆余年》剧情尚未播及原著中最精彩的部分。目前，第二季已于最近正式启动了，预计或在 2021 年底或2022 年 播出。
